Lunar Subterrane

FINAL FANTASY IV guide · Party explores the final dungeon

Cecil and his party venture deep beneath the Moon's surface through the Lunar Subterrane to reach the final chamber where the evil entity Zeromus resides. The dungeon is a massive, multi-floor gauntlet containing the strongest random encounters and the game's ultimate equipment guarded by optional super bosses. Navigating through multiple hidden paths and sub-areas, the party must defeat the bosses to prepare for the final confrontation.
